    my 96 ford bronco

    i got under my bronco to change the oil recently. i saw some oil creeping out around the oil pan and transmission connection. so...i tightened a few oil pan bolts around the rear main. we'll see if that does it. i'm not holding out a lot of hope. i'm mentally preparing myself to drop the...

    Do you use Battery Chargers?

    turn on your ignition and check the voltage. then, when you start the car, record if the voltage dips. if it goes below something like 10v then the battery is bad. also, when your car is running, the system should be running around something like 14 volts. if your AP won't do it, the...

    Installed CorkSport preassembled springs/struts/camber plates

    I did the front springs and struts a couple times. I used a spring compressor at first. Then i realized I didn't need it -especially with lowering springs.

    New driver, Used MS3 '07; Need advice.

    This was a few years ago, but I put hotchkis sway bars front and back, bilstein shocks and struts, vw bump stops on the back, ac delco rear camber arms, and cobb springs. I loved the way it rode and drove.

    What did you do to your ride today

    my eonon was cool except for the part where it receives radio signals. i couldn't pick up hardly any radio stations, and the ones that i did they were static-y and would come and go. the GUI was clunky. it certainly sounded better than stock, though, when i used a CD, flash drive, or aux...

    my 96 ford bronco

    well...well...water got in and started to delaminate the clutches. and, the torque converter was failing (as in disintegrating). and the valve for the 2-3 shift was stuck. it was so screwed up that was impossible to tell what was the first problem. i had the transmission rebuilt, replaced...

    my 96 ford bronco

    well it was like 60-70 from my house to the off-road park...so i probably did 100 or so. it's still down and i'm quickly running out of ideas. if my last ditch effort fails, then i'm taking it to a shop i know. *edit* i drove it a bit after the re-seal. which, the rear main still fucking...

    my 96 ford bronco

    i got the engine cleaned up and installed. then installed some gauges i ended up having to buy new wheels because the used-but-new-to-me wheels that i had installed when i bought new tires in the fall were bad. they look nearly identical to the wheels i removed, so no pics necessary. i...

    Koni Yellow & Eibach Spring. Rear passenger side lower than others.

    I suggest measuring from the center of the wheel when measuring. And if you swap only do the spring. That's what determines ride height, and you don't want to create multiple variables.
